This also includes unlimited browsing and Wi-Fi for the first 6 months after you activate your iPhone.
At the end of the 6 months you can continue to receive unlimited browsing and Wi-Fi for £10 per month. O2 says they will notify customers at the end of the 6 month period by text with the option to unsubscribe.
UK customers will be able to choose one of O2's standard Pay and Go tariffs to use with your iPhone, and, the more you top-up each month, the more free minutes or texts you'll receive.
According to O2 this offer is applicable to all new and upgrading customers who purchase an iPhone on Pay and Go until 31 Dec December 2008.
Terms and conditions reveal that unlimited data and Wi-Fi applies to use in the UK only, subject to excessive usage policy. Unlimited Wi-Fi is available at any of the 9500 Wi-Fi hotspots from O2's partners The Cloud or BT Openzone.
